Feature Artist of the Month: MARSHA FILIPIAK


Welcome to Made By Marsha! where digital collage is the new passion of Marsha Filipiak. 

Digital collage is an artistic composition using computer technology in its creation and production. 

To create her designs, Marsha layers vintage and current photos with other images, such as: matchbox covers, perfume bottle labels, old letters, and much more. The designs are then mounted on recycled wood in various sizes and some even have found objects attached for added interest. 

They are way cool. Check it out. . .






Marsha is a self taught stained glass artist. Her stained glass designs are not just your "traditional" variety glass, but really unique, kooky and sometimes contemporary glass. 

During the early years, the late 70’s, Marsha had a full time secretarial job and did glass designing on the side. In 1984 when the demand grew for her work, her dream came true. She quit the secretarial work to start her own business. Dennis, her husband became involved in 1995 as the business grew and they've never looked back. 

Marsha has worked with interior designers and local cabinet makers to customize stained glass art for all types of rooms and even created stained glass valances for windows plus matted and framed three-dimensional abstract designs to hang on your walls.

She has been a fixture in the Michigan fine art fair circuit for many years. It’s a great way for the public to meet and talk to her about their custom design ideas and she can introduce a new audience to her work, which can also be seen in a number of galleries and shops in Michigan and Indiana.

Marsha’s love for creating and working with her hands is evident, whether stained glass, digital collage, or bowling pin art, she has a good eye for color, composition and whimsy, always sure to bring smiles to anyone that sees it. 

She also creates reasonably priced items for gift giving such as picture frames, jewelry boxes, candle holders, 3D mix media collaged items, digital collage note cards and so much more. Just come to one of the Traveling Artists Roadshows and see for yourself. 

How lucky to be able to do what you love every day!

Oh, did I mention that this crazy traveling art show is Marsha's idea! Yep, and there are bunch of great artists ready and waiting to show you what they do. 

We take great pride in our 'Made in Michigan' - 'Made in Detroit' theme and have a wonderful variety of treats for every taste and pocketbook.

NEW SHOW: JUNE 9 - ROYAL OAK, MI

Our first show will be in Royal Oak, Mi on June 9. It's right down the street from the Royal Oak Clay & Glass Show and the Berkley Bash. How cool! Three art shows in one day!

Our show is different from the others because it's a small group of artists showing our work. Yep, we do the big shows too, but sometimes they are over whelming for people. So, we decided to take our show on the road and come to a neighborhood near you! 

We'll feature a selection of mixed media art, 2D and 3D, hand dyed fabric, adult & baby clothes, art quilts, a variety of awesome note cards, dolls, purses, wood and metal sculptures. 

Watch for the signs with our winking artist. She'll direct you straight to the show.

Looking for show venues!

TARS is looking for some great locations to hold small, more intimate art shows. . . maybe 10-15 artists at a time (more if space permits).

If you would like to host a show (inside or out) at your home, office, your club house, barn, or incorporate us into your event, we would love to talk to you about it. We are creative, so we can work with all kinds of interesting locations. . . . just tell us what you have in mind.
